Hamilton jumped out to a 40-34 halftime advantage, and extended their lead to
62-50 midway through the second half. The Cardinals, behind the three-point
shooting of Sean O'Brien (22 points, 4-6 from three-point range), cut
the Continental lead to four on two different occasions. However, Hamilton hit
on 16 of 25 free throws in the second half to keep Wesleyan at bay.

Schantz scored 19 points in the first half, and 18 in the second. He is
now scoring at a 24.9 clip per game while averging over 12 rebounds.
Schmiegel was held to eight points, stopping his consecutive
"double-double" string at four games, but has now averaged 15.8 rebounds in his
last five games.

Hamilton improves to 12-7, and have won five of their last six. The
Continentals entertain 17-2 Conn. College Saturday at 3 p.m.
